Cute hotel near train station
Cute hotel that has a BnB vibe, very close to train station. It was a hot weekend and the staff there went out of their way to provide a fan for the room.
Breakfast was great and the garden spaces is quaint.
Very convenient to Oxford city center and university area.
Bathrooms were shared but there was a WC and shower on each floor shared between 3 rooms.

Location!!
Great breakfast buffet with fresh fruit, yogurt and all the fixings. Quaint atmosphere, we loved the patio. Perfect location near the train station. Ideal walking distance from downtown Oxford. Steve & his team were very accomodating.

Cheap hotel I wont stay again
I had a second floor room without en suite up a tight staircase in a separate annexe away from main hotel
It was a very poor standard that should be reflected more in price paid - breakfast rudimentary and charged extra for cooked. This should be made clear on your site.

The staff are very friendly. One of the owners got us a map and showed us all the places of interest to go to in Oxford. I liked how close we were to the centre. All in all a lovely place to stay

Was on a business trip and was perfect for a basic overnight stay. It's an old hotel and an old building which is part of it's charm.

Lovely family run hotel in central location. It’s was a bit underwhelming from the outside but the garden is beautiful and the we enjoyed the hospitality. Breakfast was very nice. We will definitely go back next time we travel in Oxford.

Delightful, friendly welcoming manager.
Small budget hotel slap bang next to the main railway station.
Only hitch: noisy construction work late into the night.
